Patent number: 8327997Abstract: A transferred object rotating device includes a mounting plate having an opening corresponding to a shape of a transferred object and being capable of moving from a mounting position to a rotating position, a boost unit capable of moving up to pass through the opening of the mounting plate in the rotating position, and a rotation plate capable of rotating about a power transmission shaft. The mounting plate moves to the rotating position after the transferred object is mounted on the mounting plate to close the opening. The transferred object is lifted by upward movement of the boost unit. The transferred object rotates while being sandwiched between the boost unit and the rotation plate. The transferred object mounted on the mounting plate in the mounting position can be transferred to the rotating position by the mounting plate, and rotate in the rotating position.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2011Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignees: Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd., Toppan Printing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tamotsu Hamao, Akira Tanaka, Eiji Kawata, Shuichi Akashi, Hiroyuki Kuroki

Patent number: 7749436Abstract: As previous processing of measurement in which gas to be measured containing, as gas components, carbon dioxide 13CO2 and carbon dioxide 12CO2, is introduced into a cell, and in which the intensities of transmitted lights having wavelengths suitable for measurement of the respective gas components, are measured and then data-processed to measure the concentrations of the gas components, the air having a predetermined volume Va is sucked by a gas injection device 21, a gas exhaust valve V6 of a cell 11 is closed and the air stored in the gas injection device 21 is transferred to the cell 11 filled with the air at an atmospheric pressure, thereby to pressurize the cell inside. The pressure thus pressurized is measured as P. The cell volume Vc is subtracted from the product obtained by multiplying the sum.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2004Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaaki Mori, Yasuhiro Kubo, Yasushi Zasu, Masayuki Tani, Tamotsu Hamao

Patent number: 6940083Abstract: In an isotopic gas analyzer, a gas injector (21) is provided for pressurizing a gas specimen in cells (11a,11b). The pressurization of the gas specimen virtually produces the same effect as increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the gas specimen, thereby improving an S/N ratio for the analysis and hence data reproducibility.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2001Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaaki Mori, Yasuhiro Kubo, Masahiko Miyoshi, Tamotsu Hamao, Hiroaki Mizui

Patent number: 6274870Abstract: A correction curve (FIG. 19) is prepared by plotting 12CO2 concentrations and 13CO2/12CO2 concentration ratios which are determined on the basis of a calibration curve and 13CO2 and 12CO2 absorbances of gaseous samples having the same 13CO2/12CO2 concentration ratio but known different 12CO2 concentrations. A gaseous test sample containing 13CO2 and 12CO2 as component gases is introduced into a cell, and spectrometrically measured. A 12CO2 concentration of the gaseous test sample is determined by way of the spectrometric measurement. A concentration ratio correction value is obtained on the basis of the correction curve and the 12CO2 concentration of the gaseous test sample thus determined. A measured 13CO2/12CO2 concentration ratio is divided by the concentration ratio correction value thus obtained for correction of the 13CO2/12CO2 concentration ratio. Thus, the measurement accuracy of the concentration ratios of the component gases can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1999Date of Patent: August 14, 2001Assignee: Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhiro Kubo, Katsuhiro Morisawa, Yasushi Zasu, Eiji Ikegami, Kazunori Tsutsui, Tamotsu Hamao, Masaaki Mori, Takashi Maruyama
